Braxton Hicks?

[17mummytobee]

Hey so I think I just had my first BH at 22+5. It was like my whole belly got really tight and hard and kinda felt it across my hips to. Lasted about 30secs to 1 min I think and then just let down. Does that sound right?

This is good to hear other people are experiencing them this early. I have had a few completely randomly and was worried because I didn't expect them this early. But this is exactly what mine felt like. x

 

[Rachael300]

Oh please explain what exactly they are and does everybody experience them??

 

[victoria11]

They feel like your tummy is tightening / hardening and last for maybe 30 seconds to 1 minute. I dont think they should be painful and they are like practice contractions. x
